Standard libraries/Continuous distributions library

Using the Library

To use these functions in your model, you must add the Continuous distributions.ana library to your model. To add, select File → Add Library... and find the Continuous distributions.ana file.

After selecting, you should select linked. Once added, the library appears on your definition menu and the functions may be used.

Functions in library

Function Loguniform( min,max )

Identifier

Loguniform

Title

LogUniform (min,max)

Parameter declaration

(min,max:Positive)

Description

This function calculates a log uniform distribution. The log uniform distribution results when the logarithm of the random variable is described by a uniform distribution. That is, if X is log uniformly distributed, then Y = ln X is uniformly distributed. Inputs are the minimum and maximum values for the random variable and must be positive and non-zero.

Function Logtriangular( min,mode,max )

Identifier

Logtriangular

Title

LogTriangular (min,mode,max)

Parameter declaration

(min,mode,max:Positive)

Description

This function calculates a log triangular distribution. The log triangular distribution results when the logarithm of the random variable is described by a triangular distribution. That is, if X is log triangularly distributed, then Y = ln X is triangularly distributed. Inputs are the minimum, mode, and maximum values for the random variable and must be positive and non-zero.
